Yes, I am thinking of doing my own stand. For an old broad I am rather handy in the project department.....other than wiring! I built some dandy dog pens and dog houses over the years and built a couple dog houses for friends. Tiled my own floors, replaced toilets and did projects around the house that needed done. I had tools at one time but now living in an apartment I have NONE. I will get the lumber cut and just put it together here in my apartment. My neighbors can put up with listening to an electric screwdriver for one afternoon. They keep thinking I'm dead over here anyway since I am so quiet. I won't be able to do doors for it, tho. Those will need the skill of someone a bit better at finishing work.
